P.S. Seems to me you are asking obvious questions, in order to engage in moronic debates with morons? Or you thought you were being clever, and asking an obvious question instead of just stating it.

I just want Blade to finally admit it once and for all...
(which he pretty much did in so many words)
To be honest, this is a topic I'm very interested in on a personal level, I truly want to know what people think about it in general. From what I hear (polls, books, forums, etc.), most Americans would like for our government to work with the U.N. on issues of this nature.
For starters, I want people to know about the issue, which is the reason for the IP. And I have a few follow up questions that I'm wondering about...
1. Do you think we will ever have a leader that will work with "The World" on these issues?
2. How many signatures (IYO) would it take if Americans were to sign a petition about something of this nature?
3. Would our government consider such a petition?
4. Has our government ever considered any type of petition by "We the People"?
This is where I was actually headed with this one...
